well then, I guess you're saying perhaps Mr Beer should make better directions, yes? not saying your opinion was wrong, or saying mine was right...its just an opinion. its not as hard as some of you make it seem.

seems kinda silly to tell the guy not to brew, and to read first for a week. its bewitched amber ale, 1 can of lme to go into 4 quarts of water, and then into the lbk. not that complex of a recipe, lol. make it already, and put it in the lbk...you got 14-21 days to read while it ferments! another thing I will say...if you do wait a week and read, then order yourself some better yeast,(safale us-05 for example) and don't use the yeast under the can lid. happy brewing!!!
